Journals (I'll add these links to our homepage sidebar for easy access):
Education and Health Journal
"E&H is aimed at those involved with education and health who are concerned with the health and wellbeing of young people. Readers come from a broad background and, in the UK, include: primary, secondary and further education teachers, university staff, and health-care professionals working in education and health settings. The journal is also read by those who commission and carry out health education programmes in school and college. Articles focus on recent health education initiatives, relevant research findings, materials and strategies for education and health-related behaviour data."

International Journal of Health Promotion and Education
"The International Journal of Health Promotion and Education (IJHPE) actively encourages the exchange of information and views by offering a platform for better interactions and dissemination within Health Promotion and Education community. The journal attracts health promoters/educators from medicine, education, public health, sociology, nursing, administration, public relations and related fields."

Journal of Education and Health Promotion
"The journal will cover technical and clinical studies related to health, educational, ethical and social issues in field of Medicine, nursing, nutrition and related disciplines. Articles with clinical interest and implications will be given preference."

Journal of Research in Interprofessional Practice and Education
"The Journal of Research in Interprofessional Practice and Education (JRIPE) is an open access journal that disseminates theoretical perspectives, methodologies, and evidence-based knowledge to inform interprofessional practice, education, and research to improve health care delivery, quality of care, and health status for individuals, families, and communities."
